From my observation, in the very beginning stages of the camps they tents varied but if the camp was “successful” it quickly grew with the same color and model tents, canopy, signs, etc.
It reminds me of BLM, the first few nights it seems like a honest local protest, variety of dress, signs, chants, wrapped up early evening, etc. Then in a matter of a day or two it was 99% people in all black, nearly identical homemade shields, etc.
Has all the signs of a well organized and funded backer.
Organic protests have hand made signs. Many of these signs are professionally printed and dropped off in advance for people to pick up at the site. Some earnest but foolish people grab them and hold them up which is fine and legal, but I think the idea is in the hope of seeding a mob mentality. Like the summer of 2020, there were the people who peacefully marched, but there were also agitators who dropped off pallets of bricks, cases of Molotov cocktails, frozen cans and bottles etc. Not organic. Professional- with malice intent. They wanted some of the protestors to get swept up in the emotion and cross the line from peaceful march into violence. That’s why we have the phrase “mob mentality”. A person can be reasoned with. A mob has its own dynamic that cannot be easily controlled. Sometimes it’s a positive force like at a religious event or a music concert - the crowd gets a positive feedback loop in a shared experience. In this case it’s a negative feedback loop. The agitators and people who supply the tools of violence know this which is why they bring items that can be weaponized.
Look for the union labor. After all, these leftists would not hire scab protestors, would they?

Obama’s army. Just as well funded as the US Army. Like he promised.
